1. Zoom Story Time with my grands
I have done it twice in the last week, and the kids have really enjoyed it. I hope to continue on a regular basis.
Here is one of the stories they favored...
2. New quilting rulers arrived in the mail! I really like to buy Westalee rulers because they sell them thinner for low shank machines like mine. I just cannot use a 1/4" ruler around the back of my hopping foot. Westalee also sells rulers in the normal 1/4" as well. Getting these babies in the mail gets me excited to use them!
I bought a wreath pattern in two sizes.
I use the westalee rulers and also have the westalee quilting foot. It stays at the same height and doesn't hop.

Oh your rulers look awesome. I have been procrastinating quilting the quilt on my quilter. How fun to zoom read to the grands. I used to read every night to my grandsons, and now they are older they read all the time.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I borrowed a friend's beginning set and now I am hooked on them. But really need to see them in action on a long arm.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Nifty rulers! What fun!
ReplyDeleteJust love Zoom as it's kept us conected and also meet lovely new friends.....
ReplyDeleteWOW! those ruler work beautifully...
I think you're doing a fabulous job with your new rulers! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to have Zoom reading time. I get it is a very special time for you all. One of the bonuses of COVID-19 is discovering all these different ways of connecting. (There have to be some bonuses) Have fun with your new rulers. They remind me of Spirograph.
ReplyDeletewonderful machine quilting, the new rulers work.
ReplyDeleteWow, you do make those rulers work for you. Hope you've been able to get in lots of quilting time this week.
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun! I love the flower border you quilted with your new rulers! And I look forward to seeing what else you will create with them. New tools/toys are just the thing to infuse one with a fresh burst of creative energy, don't you agree? As for Zoom story time: Ah, it has been SO LONG since my boys were young enough for story time! But I do miss that! What can I bribe my 19-year-old son with to get him to sit on the couch with me and read Goodnight Moon??? Hah!
